Student Activities 2

We invited our 'Ugandan Family' for a meal to celebrate the successful end to their teaching practice. We went to the hotel up the road and enjoyed a good meal followed by Italian ice cream down at the Italian cafe!! Lovely!!























Rob and I helped to finance an educational excursion for some students, something children and students here have very little experience of.

We arranged a visit to the museum in Kampala which is a bit old fashioned and 'tired' but has some interesting exhibits about the culture and history of East Africa. Then we went to the Entebbe Wildlife Education Centre which was the old zoo but they are trying really hard to develop open spaces where the animals can be seen in a more natural environment. The Colobus monkeys above are free to roam. The students seemed to have fun and say they learned. I will see when they hand in the assignment I set on how educational visits support learning.


This is the Dean of Students who came with his son who was not very impressed with the donkey ride!!
